Pre banding I always used grape Propel in Water, now I prefer plan water. Glad to be a person who likes water.

Lap banding changes your taste buds.

I feel like a alcoholic. I'm always tempted to take that drink. Everyday is a struggle of good vs. evil. Aug 2nd was my last drink a route 44 dr. Pepper from sonic. SIGH** but I'm staying strong if I can do it anybody can do it!!

I miss my diet coke, but I now drink Water, crystal light, and diet snapple.

Carbonated drinks will make you HURT. I made the mistake of having a couple of swallows to take 2 pills, and I hurt so bad...needless to say it only took that one time for me to learn my lesson. I have heard of people who buy diet rite (they use splenda) and leave it opened so it will go flat.

Is it the carbonation or the flavor of the drinks. I was craving ginger ale since it is my go to for queasy stomach. I found if I buy diet ginger ale, and keep shaking it up and releasing the carbs, eventually I can drink it no problems. So try that with you favorite soda.

I love diet dr pepper in a can. If there is any one thing I could eat that would be it. I told my husband I felt like a drug addict lol. I havent had carbonation or caffeine in 10 weeks. Last Saturday I tried one sip of coke zero and it burned my tongue and tasted like dirt.

For me the Target brands of mix ins are amazing. They are way better than Crystal Light to me. Right now my favs are tangerine strawberry, cranberry cosmopolitan and lime margarita. Don't let the names put you off. They taste great! The lime margarita tastes like lime aide. I was a diet coke junkie. We got free soda at work, so I never drank anything else. It took a few months, but now I don't think I could drink one. Good luck!

I saw the lime margarita and was put off by the name... I'll try them anyway.

Thanks for ALL of the ideas! I'm trying some new things. Love the FUZE slenderize tropical punch.

You guys rock!

[bamagirl2012 34]

Where can u buy FUZE?

My nutritionist turned my onto Brisk orangeade. It comes in a can just like any soda so it gives me the excitement of opening the can but no carbonation or caffeine.

wine?? ok nooooo just bugging!!!

I do enjoy the crystal lights, but to be honest, nothing can really replace Water..I use to hate it as well, but you get use to it...hang in there...

Never mind! I started drinking more wine! Red especially

[indacrucible 60]

I bought the Fuze at a gas station, but I've also seen it at Walgreen's.

I will try the shaking up soda to rid it of the carbonation, too.

Thanks!

Depending on where you live the Water is really hard and it's just harder to consume. Some bottled Water tastes like crap! That is why some of us have a hard time with water.

I hate almost all crystal lites and mios and all flavored drinks because I'm not a sweets fan. I slice cucumber in a beautiful pitcher of filtered ice water so I feel like I'm at a spa. It goes down smoother. But I also drink a lot of hot herbal tea.

If the craving is really strong try letting the soda go flat. Yeah it's not the same, and flat soda isn't the BEST tasting, but it should help fulfill your craving. I was a total soda junkie and that really was the hardest habit to kick. I find home brewed iced tea with no calorie sweetener to really hit the spot for me.

I bought kool-aid packets what ever flavor you like, then instead of adding 1cup of sugar I add 1/2 cup of truvia. Its wonderful, and u cant tell its not sugar, no after taste like splenda. I also make sugar free lipton tea, then just add 2 packets of truvia to my cup of tea and stir. Delicious!!! I was addicted to regular coke, about 5-6 a day, havent had one since july. Try truvia its all natural, not artificial. Use in place of sugar in recipes!!
